Earth Day Goodness!

In honor of Earth Day on Wednesday,April 22nd I are spotlighting some items from my etsy shop that are so very Earth Friendly!!



I have a variety of Vintage Paper Packs to fulfill your crafting desires!! Instead of throwing away damaged books destined for the landfill, these bits of paper are useful for a multitude of craft purposes from card making to collage and more.



What do you do with vintage tablecloths that have holes and stains?? Well, you repurpose them of course! My cutters have been crafted into cute fabric flower pins that you can attach to your t-shirt, purse, headband...wherever you desire!



Vintage Drawer Pulls have so many new purposes! Use them to snazz up a tired night table or use them in some creative assemblage pieces. These have really nice details and are sold in pairs.

We hope that you learn how to make something useful again and be a creative crafter on Earth Day!!

Check out my favorite wedding dress on this absolutely beautiful Cinderella Treasury...

My favorite wedding gown!!

This one is my all time favorite vintage wedding gown I have had for sale. It is so feminine with a high volume skirt with layers of tulle, the most beautiful lace overlay and a sprinkling of tiny pearls and sequins!! Hope it makes a bride to be very happy! Currently available on ebay!

Retro 1980s Wedding Look!

This fun little number is by Canadian designer Simon Chang. Layers of white cotton fabric in classic 1950s style!!

It goes up on ebay tonight (March 11th)!

Wedding Bells!

With Spring just around the corner (okay, might be a little longer here in Canada) I always turn to thoughts of swirling white wedding gowns.

I have gone deep into the bonton*vintage storage and am slowly pulling out some wedding lovelies!!

The first of the bunch is a 1960s daisy lace gown. So pretty!!! Love the train! It is currently for offer on ebay for a terrific price.

More to come!!

Hat Hoarder

My oh my....how did I manage to gather so many hats???

This is the second lot I will be selling and I still have a stack of hat boxes higher than my head in my storage room! Most of these came from the estate of a lady that realllyyyyy loved hats. I think I walked out of there with about 100 of them. After that I vowed never to buy a whole bunch of hats again...but somehow a few trickle into my home here and there.

This lot is coming soon (next Wednesday) to an ebay auction near you!!!

Trendy Travel!

I would so love to board the Orient Express carrying one of these!! I have a thing for luggage, I have piles of it everywhere...it speaks to me at estate sales..."bring me home with you"!!

Alas, I must liquidate some...this one was just listed on ebay. Hope it gets to travel somewhere exotic or interesting!!

Strawberry Love

There is something about embroidered strawberries that I just love!! This pretty embroidery is on a set of 8 vintage luncheon napkins that are up for auction on ebay right now!!

New on etsy...Distressed Paper Flowers!!

I so enjoy making these...recycling bits of vintage ephemera into something totally new!

You can find them in my etsy shop for only $4.50 for 6.

Utterly Creative!

Love this video so much!!

Her Morning Elegance / Oren Lavie

Date Night Dress!

I think this little number is soooo pretty and feminine. Love the sheer overlay sprinkled with silver and blue glitter and all the flocked circles. On ebay right now!

Won't you be my Valentine?

Gearing up for the big red heart day with some Valentine's Day worthy fashions!!







All on ebay!

Happy New!!

I am the just the worst blogger ever! Just too much flickr-ing, etsy-ing, ebay-ing, volunteer-ing, shopp-ing, eat-ing, etc.-ing!!

I have added a couple of super cute little vintage shoe holder bags to my etsy shop that I thought I would share. I think this is just the classiest way ever to take your shoes to where ever you are going. God forbid you would wear your good shoes in the rain, muck, slush, snow...or whatever you have on the ground where you are!!

Enjoy!

Winter Wonderland

My oh my it is pretty out there!!

We had our first big dump of snow yesterday and everything is finally all white and beautiful!
